HT5395 How do I get my iMessage from my computer to show up as my phone number rather than my email?
I'm trying to imessage from my macbook air and it's coming up as my email instead of my phone number/contact in people's phones. It changed suddenly and I can't figure out how to get it back to being my phone number. Please help!
Hi,
Actually that is Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages account and the "Start New Conversation From" Drop down
The Pic is from Mavericks but in the indicated item there is little change.
Mine is set to my Apple ID.
It can make a difference if your iPhone Contacts only know your iPhone Number or you don't want them to know your Apple ID.

How do I get digital copies from my computer to show up on my AppleTV without having my computer on? Is there a way to get them to appear under purchased?
Actually, if you mean Apple/iTunes purchased content, you can go to the content area and go to Purchased... e.g. if you go to Movies > Purchased all the movies you have purchased through iTunes/Apple will appear there... ditto for Music, TV Shows, Music...
for local copies of media, computer needs to be on with iTunes running... -

In iTunes turn on homesharing.

I can't change my imessage so that it goes through my mobile number rather than my email
I can't change my imessage so that it goes through my mobile number rather than my email
For some unknown reason, my phone has decided to change my imessage reciever to my email rather than my actual mobile number and won't let me change it backHi, i have had this same problem a few times, but i think i found a solution.
Go into your setting to iMessage, disable it from your email, via logging out of it using your Apple iD
So now ita only your phone number on iMessage.
At first it wont work, but try turning it off and on, just give it abit of time until it registers that your number is able yo use iMessage.
Once you notice its working, just go back and log back into using your Apple iD
Hope it Helps
